Somerset, 1837
‘Ti amo, mia cara’
The fine art of persuasion.
Darius Clarke and his burning passion for a woman. The gentle Melisande…as beautiful as she is mysterious.

When presented with an opportunity to make her his bride, Darius takes it, and knows Melisande will finally belong only to him. Or will she?
Melisande carries a secret. Something she believes will prevent her from ever being worthy to be loved by any man—even the masterful Darius, despite the fact he captivates her utterly.
A look… A caress… A kiss… A brooding sensuality. A lushly passionate tale of lovers entangled in the discovery of each other’s sins and secrets. As Darius and Melisande embark upon a journey together, they will find that learning to command is just as important as learning to surrender.

A man who knows what he wants...
A woman who needs him in order to know her worth…
‘Ti amo, mia cara’

This is an erotic romance, intended for readers 18 years and older. Aspects of BDSM. 36,000 words.

Those are but a few words to describe this novella by Raine Miller. let's face it, it has been years since I have read historical romances. After reading my fill of Victoria Holt, I moved away from the genre because I wanted a taste of modern life. I will have to reconsider this decision after reading Raine Miller's Passion.

There was nothing about this novella that is not relevant today. I would strongly advice readers to make this part of your reading as you pick up the latest in The Blackstone Affair Series - Rare and Precious Things.Although not directly involved or needed in order to read Rare and Precious Things, it definitely adds to the experience and will make your enjoyment two-fold.

In Passion, we find Marianne agreeing to marry Darius to save her father from prison. Darius has been in love with her for years; just waiting for her to grow up to make his move. Little they know to what extent this marriage would consume them both.

I will be on the lookout for more historical romances of this caliber in the future. I am amazed at what I have been missing!

Beautiful historical love story , Darius quiet man , passionate, He waited patiently for Marianne to grow up and become the woman he craves, he is older then Marianne a least a decade. Darius wanted Marianne and only her.He found her to be perfect. He was dominant and she was submitted. He was determined to fight for her . She learned to love him , surrender with her body and her soul, . Love story full of excitement and love, secrets exposed and bring back the faith for love .Another amazing and beautiful love story from the writer RAINE MILLER , she describe in very beautiful words the perfect love , she spread magic in this book . The reader can't leave it.

Such a great book giving an insight into the history behind that house. Raine Miller is such a good writer you understand and feel every word written, this being a historical book was brilliant, I love these type of books they give you an insight on what people were like in the past

The guilt that Marianne carried around with her for years regarding J was so touching and emotional and Darius was the only one who could bring her out of that guilt, they were a brilliant couple together and you could see that the love they eventually had for them was so endearing, it took Marianne a while but she got there eventually with Darius and he was so patient with her and so loving, the fact he had loved her from afar for so long was so touching to me.

Such a 5 star read

"Darius indulges in the simple pleasure of breathing her."

This was my first historical romance novel. The reason I read it is because I love Raine Miller's writing. She is my favorite author and when I learned that she ties her historical romance novels to her contemporary novels, in this case The Blackstone Affair well, I just had to read it. I was captivated with this novel, the writing, the characters, and the love Darius felt for his Marianne.Darius had feelings for Marianne for a very long time. He has been waiting patiently for her. And in his eyes she is nothing but perfection. Darius is older than Marianne, from an Italian mother, dark and very handsome. He even tells her Ti Amo a lot which absolutely melted my heart.

"The art of persuasion was a skill he possessed in abundance."

Marianne has survived a tragedy that has scarred her. She feels she is not suitable to get married but Darius has other ideas. Darius stole my heart with how romantic he was with his Marianne. He gave her the best gifts always saying the most beautiful things.Their lovemaking scenes are very hot. He would dominate and she would submit both getting what they wanted and needed.

"Marianne made him feel victorious, like a warrior, strong and powerful."

As his feelings for her grew stronger so did the urge to protect her and protect her happiness. He sensed there was a mystery to her, that there was something that she was keeping from him. There is an interesting irony in this book that has to do with their roles and one that I found fascinating. It really shows that you may control someones actions but what they feel inside you may not be able to. This is how Darius felt at times. And he loved nothing more than for her to love him back, to hear it.

"Darius, I love that you make me feel cherished. I love that you want me and say I am precious to you. I love that you need my body fiercely. I love the closeness with you. I love that you want me to be the mother of your children. You've given all of that to me, even when I thought I shouldn't deserve any of it...."

This is a book of passion and love and how two people can come alive by the mere fact that you are truly loved and there is nothing that it is more important than the other person's happiness.

If you love The Blackstone Affair read this beautiful story and discover its ties to The Blackstone Affair series. When you read Eyes Wide Open and Rare and Precious Things the experience is sublime. Perfect. Unforgettable.
